This task requires you to research aspects of Wilfred Owen's life. You should focus on the following areas as a minimum but you may chose to broaden your research:
- His early life in England
- His experiences in France
- His religious upbringing and attitudes
- His war experiences (through his letters)
- His relationship with Siegfried Sassoon
- His experiences at Craiglochart in Scotland.
For an extension task, you may choose to research some of the poets Owen was most influenced by - this may come in a reflection on some of his favourite poems.
This research may prove a little more difficult than your WW1 Research, but again, you should show evidence of multiple sources of information and must show where you found it (internet site, book title etc...) This task should be a minimum of 2 pages - however, the more you now about Owen the better equiped you will be to understand and write on his poetry!
Please note: I too can access wikipedia - so don't think i won't notice if you cut and paste everything from there!
If you need some help, I'll organise a lunch time for you to join me in the library!
Regards,
Mr. D
